Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell is enjoying the pairing of Piper Niven and Chelsea Green on TV. The duo has been a primary focus on SmackDown after Niven got the opportunity to face Bayley for the WWE Women's Championship.
This week on SmackDown, Bayley addressed Piper, acknowledging her prowess in the ring. The Scottish star then claimed that The Role Model knew nothing about her. She pointed out that she was a trailblazer even before coming to WWE, and at Clash at the Castle, she would take Bayley's title.
This week on Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell claimed Piper was his new favorite in the women's roster. He also praised Chelsea for being very entertaining in the ring and outside of it.

"Piper Niven is fastly becoming my favorite female wrestler. Her and Chelsea Green... it's easy to work with them. Chelsea Green, when she did this, like 'cut your throat,' I bursted out laughing, and I very seldom do that. She is, I met her in TNA and she's got a lot of talent. And even away from the ring, she's got it. She got more talent away from that ring, I think, than in it. That was a very good show." [From 4:38 onwards]
With Clash at the Castle fast approaching, things are heating up in WWE.
It will be interesting to see if Bayley can retain the title as she faces Piper Niven in front of her home country fans in Scotland for Clash at the Castle.
